Regen Gathering. Food, Farming & Enterprise
September 2025

Helping build the future of the rural economy and support the farmers who bravely grow our food

Regen Gathering is an annual regenerative food and farming festival that puts farmers and health at the centre of the conversation!

With panel discussions, workshops and technical demonstrations, Regen is a free two-day event about innovative food and farming approaches, bringing together a diverse range of people and ideas.

Why was this event created in the first place?

The idea for Regen Gathering emerged after we brought two people from Genuine Jersey and the Jersey Government to Groundswell Agriculture Festival 2023, which is sometimes referred to as the Glastonbury of farming, in England. The festival is a very welcoming and inclusive event, attracting all types of farmers and hosting 8,000 people interested in sustainable food production, health, nutrition, climate, community and social justice.

Both individuals were deeply moved by one talk in particular, with Dr. Zach Bush, about interconnections between our health and our environment and how this translates into wellbeing for people and communities alike. As a medical doctor, Zach shared his journey into understanding why all health issues come back to how we treat the soil, and the role of regenerative agriculture, farmers, and consumers in transitioning from a system that feeds degenerative disease to one that promotes health and vitality.

This experience led to a conversation about the need to rethink how we approach changing our food/farming/healthcare systems and market conditions to value the best agro-ecological farmers and businesses. The idea was to host a gathering that focused on farmers of all scales, as well as future farmers, new entrants, and supporting agricultural businesses. With workshops, talks and thought-provoking conversations, we wanted people to hear stories from farmers, entrepreneurs, doctors, chefs, and supply network experts.

Regen Gathering is a nonprofit event for farmers, growers and everyone who is interested in the food they eat and how it affects the environment, their health and society. Supported by Farm Jersey and organised by HYPHA Consulting, Regen is dedicated to building community and promoting regenerative practices across the food system.
